Thread: How can I have a lucid dream in 3rd Person?

Well,,, you just said you do it, so of course it is possible. Dreams are just advanced computer simulations. Your mind can create just about any experience.

No, I can only do it visualizing in my mind.. minds eye sort of thing, everyone can think in 3d in your head.. and in third person.

More like an omnipotent view.

I've only gone 3rd person view in lucids once or twice. Not sure how well it will work for you but this is how I did it:

I kind of imagined myself leaving my body, and 'zooming out'. Ehhh okay I can't really explain how it happened but yea it's kinda like leaving your body then looking at yourself and moving around at different angles. That time I did it, i was actually just planning on leaving my body and wander around as a ghost, but to my surprise, my body kept doing normal things and carried on walking and talking to DCs.

Or you could try running at high speeds once lucid to trigger that effect. good luck

**moved to Dream Control**

whenever I dream that Im playing a video game things get a little weird. I switch from sitting infront of a tv with a remote, to actually being the character, to watching myself in third person, to being the character but still controlling myself with ta remote. I'ts weird. How i make myself in third person: I stand still and imagine a camera watching me. Then imagine what the camera sees.

Just for yuks, here's a thought:

Since everything in a dream, be it lucid or not, comes ultimately from you, it is literally impossible to dream in third person. However, it isn't that difficult to separate your lucid "presence" from your dream character "you" and get the impression that you're dreaming in third-person.

In other words, you're not dreaming in third person, you're just watching your DC do stuff from a different perspective. If you keep that in mind it shouldn't be hard to change your perspective.

Ok, sorry, I thought you had told us that you do do it. It is possible. It really is just like any dream control, expectation and practice. If you are good at getting lucid then there are a few ways you can learn to switch back and forth.

1) Learn to be able to view yourself in a mirror while LDing. Go ahead and wave at yourself. It is not actually something you may be able to do at first. Just know that it is a mirror, and mirrors reflect. Look in it knowing you should be able to see your self.

2) After that, attempt to control a DC's actions just by expecting your thoughtd to control him. Get to where you can make a DC turn around, open a door and so on.

Finally combine the two ideas. You will have learned to see yourself from a removed prespective, and how to control the action of an observed DC. Now just know the DC you are controling is you. Expect it to look like you, using the same trick you will have learned with the mirror. Hope that helps.

You know that is actually the easiest way for me to go third person. It comes from playing a lot of videogames on my part. Some times that even comes in the form of a quicktime event for me. Like one time I was at a school or something at night and a vampire drove a car through the windows and started smashing things. I hid under a table but after a bit I went third person and he smashed the table with me under it. There was a underground floor right below me though so a hole opened up from the force and via quicktime event I was able to slip into the hole instead of being crushed. Once I was in the hole I was back in first person.
